Steam Flow Meters
We are Manufacturer, Supplier, Exporter of Steam Flow Meters. We also manufacture many other types of flow meters. Our setup is situtaed in Pune, Maharashtra, India and we supply flowmeters throughout the world, including Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and many others.
The SFMc-150 Steam Flow Meter System is engineered to suit your requirement. It has no moving parts and no wiring connections are required during installation.
The mass flow rate of Saturated and Superheated steam is calculated by measuring the differential pressure across the orifice plate and instantaneous density. Online density compensation is possible because of the online pressure and temperature measurement.
Specifications :
• Size: 1 inch to 10 inch
• Type of flow element: Differential flow element
• Accuracy: ±2.5% to 3% of actual reading
• Typical turndown: 10:3 (standerd),
10:1 (Contact to factory)
• Density compensation: Online monitoring and compensation of density
• Communication protocol: MODBUS, RTU
• Communication port: RS485, RS232 (optional)
PRINCIPAL ADVANTAGES :
1. Online density compensation possible because of the online pressure and temperature measurement.
2. Various sizes of orifice assemblies available with accurate design calculations, with or without IBR approval as per application.
3. Sturdy, rugged field mounting type pressure transmitter is supplied with standard end connection.
4. Online display of compensated mass flow rate, density, temperature & output of DP transmitter is offered.LED indication for status of steam (saturated or superheated) is provided.
5. User friendly. No need to feed all the complicated orifice constants since the system is intelligent enough to calculate.
6. Isolated 4-20mA dc output proportional to compensated flow rate.
7. Disconnection of DPT, PT and Temperature sensor is indicated by error message.
8. Complete system engineered to suit your requirement.
9. Standard System and highly reliable.
10. Calibration of RTD, DP transmitter, pressure transmitter is easy and inexpensive.
11. No moving Parts.
12. No wiring connections are required during installation.
13. Installation is easy and suitable.

Comparison Between A Orifice Type And Vortex Type Flow Meter :
| Sr no | Parameter | Orifice | Vortex |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Well established standards | Available | Not Available |
| 2 | Suitability for high pressure & temperature application | Most suitable | Seal fails in majority of cases after a certain duration. |
| 3 | Installation | Easy to install | Critical & expensive because of the requirement of special machined pipe lengths. |
| 4 | Existing pipeline modifications for installation | No modifications are required. | Design is based on velocity & not on line size. As a result, line size at the site & selected flowmeter size may differ. |
| 5 | Recalibration of transmitter | Easy & can be done in house | Has to be done on a flow-rig and hence is expensive |
| 6 | Changes in Pressure, Temperature | Taken care of during density compensation | Needs to be taken care of. |
| 7 | Effects on resolution due to increase in line size | No effect. | Resolution decreases with an increase in line size. |
| 8 | Suitability for low-velocity measurement | Suitable | Stops the measurement |
| 9 | Durability | No moving parts and hence no wear and tear and virtually maintenance-free. | Diaphragm-based sensor and hence is prone to wear and tear. |
